Attention Cornell students: find your way through the information fog and learn how to make today’s great abundance of information work for you, not against you. HADM 5592: Information Survival Skills is being offered for the first time in the Fall 2010 semester (two credits: class meets Tuesday/Thursday 8:40-9:55). This course will guide you through the process of finding, evaluating, and using information effectively and efficiently.
Information Survival Skills will use a variety of social media tools – blogs, Twitter, polls, surveys, etc. - and a lot of hands-on practice. Classes will meet in a classroom on Tuesdays and the Binenkorb computer lab on Thursdays. You will benefit from the skills learned in this class throughout your life at Cornell, and beyond.
Please note that this course counts as a free elective and not a Hotel School elective. For more information, contact the instructor, Ken Bolton, at ktb4@cornell.edu.
